Previously, I was thinking of writing today on the latest baseball story of former major leaguer Mark McGwire confessing that he had cheated, or about the controversy Vancouver Canuck Alex Burrows had raised against a referee, but watching the scenes from Haiti, seeing the faces of despair, and hearing the cries of hopelessness, almost everything stops, and almost nothing is relevant anymore.
I know this is a very difficult economic time. People are losing their jobs; everyone is probably a little concerned over his/her job security. But most of us can spare ten dollars, twenty dollars, or whatever amount, to help those who are in dire need. I urge you today to help.
The following non-profit groups are some of the reputable charitable organizations that are recognized by the Government of Canada (click here for the complete list). I'm attaching a link to their websites. If you can help, please help.
